Quick Hit

House rips like a chaos-heavy horror comedy—candy-colored, absurd, with zero interest in comforting you.

Full Take

House leans hard into comedy horror energy, and Nobuhiko Obayashi keeps the tone candy-colored without letting the movie drift. It balances style and ugliness the right way, letting the mood get under your skin before the worst of it lands. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
